Yes, you absolutely can draw on PowerPoint slides during a presentation. This can be a great way to engage your audience and highlight key points. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to do this:
- Begin your PowerPoint presentation by selecting “Slide Show” from the top menu, followed by “From Beginning” or “From Current Slide”, depending on your preference.
- Once the presentation starts, move your cursor to the lower-left corner of the screen. An array of icons will appear. Click on the pen icon, which is the fourth from the left.
- A menu with various options will pop up. You can choose from a pen, a highlighter, or an eraser. There are also options to change the color of your pen or highlighter.
- After you have selected your preferred tool, you can start drawing directly on the slides. To stop drawing, just press the ‘Esc’ key on your keyboard.
- If you want to keep the drawings on your slides after the presentation, select “Keep” when you exit the slide show. If you do not want to keep the drawings, select “Discard”.
Remember, this feature can be a powerful tool when used effectively. However, overuse or misuse can potentially distract your audience. So, use it sparingly and strategically.
